We found out this morning that we will be working on homes in Sabine Pass, TX about 30 miles south of here. We decided to start work on Monday but visited the house today because we were going to tour Port Arthur and Beaumont today. The towns are very industrialized for the oil industry- refini

Today was a day to get settled. Habitat is delivering our packages this evening so we don't know if we are working tomorrow or will wait until Monday. This morning we went to the complimentary breakfast they have at the resort every morning. A lot of good choices. Alesa had a bagel and I had

We made it to Texas at about noon today. We are in the Gulf Coast RV Resort, two or three miles southwest of Beaumont and will be here until January 26th. We spent last night in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Picayune, Mississippi. Not something we want to do a lot of but it gave us a good night's

We left home just before noon yesterday and stopped about 7PM for dinner and fuel at a Flying J at Exit 77 on I-81 in Virginia. We ended up spending the night in the parking lot amidst other RV's. We did get a comfortable night's sleep but had to scrape the windshield in the morning. We are no

We are back in Exton after a 9 hour trip on New Year's day. The trip was good except for a snowstorm through all of MA. I skied all day on the 31st and my legs are still complaining a little. We will now unpack, pack, visit the kids, pick up the trailer on Saturday and leave on Sunday the 6th

Today we went to Elyse's production of the "Wizard of Oz" at the Abington Arts Center. They performed the first few scenes with later scenes in upcoming months. She was the lion, a chair in the tornado and in the lullabye league and stole every scene she was in. Nana presented her with a bouqu

Alesa turned 59 today so we celebrated by bringing the whole family together. Mike's family took her to see "The Golden Compass" which she heartily enjoyed. I stayed home and caught up on things needing caught up on, which we both heartily enjoyed. I told Mike that for my next birthday they sh

Today was Bailey's 7th birthday so Jeff took his family, Danielle's mother and us to the Palace in Downingtown to bowl. The kids bowl all the time on the Wii so Bailey wanted to try the real thing. They had light balls of various colors and designs, a bowling ramp and the gutters were raise-abl
